You and me both, there have to be at least dozens of us.

Ukraine has archeological evidence of cities of 20-40 thousand people with no evidence of hierarchy or rulers.

Humans lived for 10s of thousands of years under communism. Capitalism was invented and within a couple of centuries the human race is commiting collective suicide with falling birth rates.

There is always a bigger fish.

They are car brained compared to some European cities, even if they are the most walkable large city in America.

Is requiring a guy to wear a condom over the top?

No. Definitely not over the top. No other information is needed. If you were married for 20 years and you wanted condoms your husband should respect that.

Worse economically. Mom had a union job into getting her associates into well paid career in healthcare. Parents bought a house, new cars, jet ski, went on vacations. I don’t have any of that. I’m working on a trailer and land to put it on. I made better romantic decisions, so better that way. Dad was drafted, so better that way.

I’m trans, so if I were born into their generation it would have been way worse for me.

Pretty sure they both had better sex lives than I have but that’s my own choices.

His religious argument for progressive values is what makes him a strong candidate for Texas.

Talerico is serving in the state house, Crocket in the national congressional delegation.

Talerico. Brings his sincerity, faith, and working class background in in one of the poorest school districts in the country. He has integrity and and a way of invoking Christianity that I think resonates in Texas. He appeals to a broad swath of voters without compromising his progressive ideals.

I would vote for Crocket if she wasn’t up against Talerico. But as is, I think he has a better shot at the general and I trust him more.

“Jesus was probably cool, but nobody gives a fuck about him.”

Around here, if I meet someone that talks about God, then maybe they are cool. Maybe not, but they are probably the normal amount of religious. If they talk about Jesus, they are hundred percent batshit. They think trans people and gay people are the same thing, and both are a threat to children, unlike their pastor, who is not allowed to let children sit on his lap anymore because he fell to temptation that one (4!) time(s!).

Northern Europe is much more likely to experience a surge of poverty because of global financial meltdown than a hot war with Russia.

If you are living and working in a liberal area you might be better off looking for work in northern Europe than claiming refugee status. Refugees from the US are extremely likely to be returned here. I read Ireland is going to start accepting trans Americans but even that doesn’t guarantee good treatment.

Do get your passport. There are low cost options for stringing tourist visas together in South America and South East Asia. 25 grand could keep you comfortable for years. That’s a long time to find steady remote work.

I was struggling in college. Substitute teaching part time, and playing a whole lot of dungeons and dragons.

I was also realizing that I was not a man.

There is a right answer, it’s the totato.
